If the fist 100 days of the Trump 2.0 era have taught us nothing else, it's that DHS, ICE, and the Migrant Carceral Complex, all built by bipartisan hands, represent the tools to create a turnkey dictatorship for any president willing to seize them; and thus they should all go.

"The reality is that a police state and vast carceral complex built to target migrants, can just as easily be repurposed by a fascist government to target the regime’s political opposition. Either we make our stand against fascism here, on the issue of immigration justice, or the rest of us will surely fall under that same machinery of oppression in due time. Both the Department of Homeland Security and ICE were built under false pretenses by governments who were violating our civil rights; they are “solutions” in search of a problem, and under Trump anyone who opposes fascism has become that problem."
